Setup

* All Gameboy Battles in the Tournament are for the Advance Generation games (Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald FireRed, and LeafGreen). Saves from Pokemon Colesseum, Pokemon XD, or any GB/GBC Pokemon game are not allowed.

* Players must save at a Pokemon Center and have their Team of up to 6 Pokemon, each ranging from Level 2 to Level 100, in their Party before registering.

* Players may have only one of each Pokemon on their Team. (i.e., you cannot have two Mr. Mime on your team)

*Certain Pokemon are banned from use in the Tournament:

Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Mewtwo, Mew, Entei, Raikou, Suicune, Lugia, Ho-Oh, Celebi, Regirock, Regice, Registeel, Latias, Latiosz, roudon, Kyogre, Rayquaza, Jirachi, and Deoxys may not be included on your Team.

* No Pokemon on your Team can have the Soul Dew or Enigma Berry as a Held Item.

* A Judge will inspect and record all Teams before the Tournament begins.

* All Pokemon's stats and Moves must be legally obtainable in the game. Any illegal or suspiciously high stats, irregular moves, or other irregularities may be subject to disqualification if a game enhancement device or other game-altering method is the cause.

* You may not switch your Team's Pokemon between each Tournament battle. (You may reorder your Team between Tournament battles.)

Battles

* All battles are going to be 6-vs-6 Single Battle, where each player will use all 6 Pokemon on their Team to battle the other player in a Single Battle (one Pokemon vs. one Pokemon at a time).

* There is no time limit for each match, but if matches exceed 20 minutes, a Judge may call the match based on Knocked Out Pokemon and remaining HP.

* You may not affect more than one of your opponent's Pokemon with Sleep at a time (i.e., you may not use Sleep Powder if one of your opponent's Pokemon is already Asleep.)

* You will recieve a loss if you use Selfdestruct, Explosion, or Destiny Bond with your last Pokemon.

* You may forfeit your match at any time by selecting Run.

* Anyone using a game-enhancement device or anything else that could alter the outcome of the match will be disqualified.

* Anyone that disconnects his or her Game Link cable mid-battle or post-battle before the Battle Record has been saved will be disqualified.
